Abstract

Significance: Nonapoptotic cell death-induced tissue damage has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorder, inflammation, and stroke. In this study, we demonstrate that ferroptosis, a newly defined iron-dependent cell death, mediates both chemotherapy- and ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiomyopathy. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed up-regulation of heme oxygenase 1 by doxorubicin as a major mechanism of ferroptotic cardiomyopathy. As a result, heme oxygenase 1 degrades heme and releases free iron in cardiomyocytes, which in turn leads to generation of oxidized lipids in the mitochondria membrane. Most importantly, both iron chelation therapy and pharmacologically blocking ferroptosis could significantly alleviate cardiomyopathy in mice. These findings suggest targeting ferroptosis as a strategy for treating deadly heart disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
